Techstreet
Techstreet is a subscription-based platform containing industry codes and standards. The Library has purchased a custom set of resources from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
Viewing & Printing: Documents can be read online using the Techstreet Document Viewer. To print CSA documents, Adobe Acrobat Reader and a browser plug-in called FileOpen must be installed on your computer/device.
